COMMUNISTS IN BERLIN REPORTED PLANNING RIOTS Eleven Killed In Fighting at Dresden —French May Intervene, By United Press BERLIN, May 29.—Communists who have rioted in many Ruhr cities and in Saxony' plan a great upheaval in Berlin tomorrow, according to unconfirmed rumors. Bloody fighting between reds and police at Dresden at midnight resulted In eleven deaths. French, who have withheld interference in the disturbances in most inst.gnces, today prohibited public assemblies at Recklinghausen, and will extend the prohibition to other parts of the Ruhr. The move may mark the beginning of French intervention to prevent serious consequences of the rioting. The possibility of a red disturbance in Berlin is alarming A mob stoned the French patrol at Stephenburg today, and two Germans were wounded In the fighting which followed A woman and a worker were killed near Solingen. At Dresden during the night communists plundered a shop where arms were sold. Then they pressed in upon a little group of police, assailing the latter from both sides. Volleys were exchanged and many fell. In addition to eleven dead, sixty arc reported to have been wounded. INCENDIARISM BLAMED FOR UNIVERSAL FIRE Throe Business Buildings and Home Are Destroyed.

‘CATCH US IF YOO CAN'MAY BE CRY OF NEW YORK KLAN White Robers Stand on Theory Member's Mask Is His Mansion, By United Sews NEW YORK, May 29.—A Klansman's mask is his mansion and any attempt to deprive him of his secrecy’ infringes on his personal liberty— This is the stand of the Ku-Klux Klan, to be tested in the courts if necessary, its leaders, both State and National, declared today’. Since the Walker act, aimed to unmask the Klan, raises this issue first and most clearly in New York, the opening salvos of the fight for anonymity’ will b& fired as soon as Klan officials are prosecuted for failure to submit lists of their Klavern members. From National Klan headquarters at Atlanta came the announcement, although the most exalted officials of Iho organization are sympathetic with the views expressed by the empire State King Kleagle in defiance of Governor Smith, they have Issued no orders on the subject, and intend to let the New York Kleagles fight the battle themselves. Nevertheless the past forty-eight hours compassed display’s of Klan activity’ all over the country’, In what happened to be a united effort to make an impressive showing. Salesmen of Klan memberships and regalia are reported most active everywhere, and observers believe initiations the past week mark the highest rate of Kian growth. “Catch us if you can,” may be the Klan war cry. If State and country’ officials make any real effort to impound records. It would take a neat job of sleuthing to pin the goods on the night riders, unless they are caught on the road in the full panoply’ of their sheets and pillow cases. Klan activity and expansion, it is said, is now emphasized in two channels; the organization of "100 per cent Americanism” locals by men apparently not connected with Ku-Klux, which locals are later converted to Klansmen lr a body by’ "high-pressure salesmanship; - ' second, establishment of Kiaverns among college students."

National Commander of American Legion, Urging Reconsecration of Graves of Hero Dead on Memorial Day, Says Nation Keeps Faith,

Fitting commemoration of' the splendid sacrifice of the war dead of the United States on Memorial day was urged by Alvin Owsley, national commander of the American Legion here today. Owsley's statement: “The world is wracked by the quibbling of nations over the spoils of war, but the sublime faith in the achievements of the recent world struggle Is still in the minds of the men and women of America, who cherish a belief In the righteousness of the cause. “Brave Americans in the pursuance of the conflict's grim course became imbued with the fires of ambition which carried them on to the war’s objective—the destruction of an unrighteous power. “The ideals of our citizen-soldiery found expression In the defense of humanity. To have fought for the flag in the great conflict was to have maintained the cause of right. In the words of one soldier, who wrote to his mother on the eve of battle: ‘For myself, I would have you believe that whatever end I met, I met it with an even mind, constant in the conclusion that I would have rather gone out to this war and not come back, than not to have gone at all. My chief regret, If I may not live to see the end, is that I may’ not witness the triumph of right over wrong in this, the most terrible eruption of the

That these forces can triumph is unthinkable; if they are to win, I would, rather die than witness the victory. “It was in such spirit that the men of this great nation died.

MARBLE CHAMPS IMPROVE ‘SHOTS’ FOR CITY GAMES School Pupils Root for Favorites Among Twelve Contestants Saturday, Pupils from the various Indianapolis schools represented by eeotional champions in The Indianapolis Times city marble tournament are rooting for the success of their champions in the final city games at Willard Park at 2 p. m. Saturday. Many of them expect to be among the spectators. The twelve boys, one of whom will be city champion after the games Saturday, are getting their "shooting” hands in shape. Every one is a good shot or he would not be sectional champion, but each is trying to improve his shot. Details of the trip to Atlantic City to be awarded the winner and his mother or father have not been completed, but it is expected the trip will be made late in June. The city champion will play champions from more than forty other cities for the national championship. But there is something else in store for sectional marble champs next week. That is the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus. The Times has arranged with the circus to have the twelve champs and the mother or father of each as the guests of the circus the the night of June 4. CONFERENCE WILL FIX COAL ROYALTY To Discuss Mining of Fuel Under Wabash, Members of the State conservation commission will meet with coal operators at the Statehouse June 12 fcTdiscuss royalties to be paid the State for the removal of coal from under the Wabash River. According to John W. Holtzman, chairman of the commission, the operators have virtually acceded to a price of 10 cents a ton. Experts estimate there are 9,000.000 tons of minafole coal under the river. The money will go Into the State general fund. The ownership of coal under the river has been a subject of controversy for a number of years. U. 8. Lesh. attorney general, some time ago filed suit to enjoin operators from removing the coal, but the suit has not been tried. An effort also will be made to fix a price payable to the State for coal already mined.
